It's still a bit chilly, so if you want to rock the spring look a bit early, be sure to keep warm with a fun jacket in a bright color!

Spring this year is the perfect time to showcase all the wonderful colors that are in bloom all around us. Clothing and shoes are showing up in all the bright and vivid colors of nature. Rose red, precious pink, dreamsicle orange, daisy yellow, grass green, mint green, blue-jay blue, forget-me-not purple, all the fabulous colors of the rainbow are showing up in shirts, shorts, capris, and shoes.

Solid colored pieces are quite popular, but so are bold patterns.  Paisley, plaid, stripes, and checkerboard patterns in bright colors are all the rage.

This is an excellent time to get an evaluation of your skin, if you have not already done so. Are you a spring, summer, winter, or fall? Do you have golden or silver undertones? Finding this out will enable you to shop for only the colors that make you look your very best!

Tops...

The warmer weather calls for showing more skin, so what better way to do so than by wearing a fun, flirty, low-cut top in a vibrant color, with a bright tank underneath? Cuts that are hot this season are halters, strapless tops, and low-cut tops, either in a sexy v-cut or a sweetly low scoop. Layering a spaghetti strap top in a bright contrasting color underneath helps you look classy and keeps the colors popping! The most popular in tops this season are silky, shiny fabrics that are cut loosely with lots of gathers and tucks. These tops are very flattering, as they tend to flow gracefully with your every movement.

Also popular for a more casual look are graphic tops.  They of course come in the standard t-shirt variety, but now there are other options as well!  Tanks and t's are now avaliable with unique accents, such as attached chains or medallions, and more feminine cuts, such as v-necks, one-shoulder styles, and scoops.


Green and white plaid shorts with a green v-neck (the collar is built right into the shirt, so you can wear one, but look like you're wearing two!)  A classic black vest and a string of funky pearls tone down the look for a professional feel.

Bottoms...

Shorts and capris are all the rage this season.  Show off those sexy legs girl!  Of course these items are also showing up in dazzling colors, but faded denim and white are also very popular.  Fun and funky belts are an awesome way to accessorize and draw attention to your waist and hips.  Popular fabrics for bottoms this season are denim and cotton – very breathable and mobile, perfect for the female on the go!

Shoes and Accessories...

Spring is still, as it has always been, pedicure season!  Go and spend the $30 and get your feet done!  French manicures are popular, as well as bright colors.  For a fresh new look, try a French pedicure with bright colored tips instead of the traditional white.  Or, swap the pink for a bright color but keep the white tips.  Play with it, have fun!  Pedicures are quite relaxing.  Not only do you of course get your feet and legs massaged, but most salons’ pedicure chairs also have massagers built in, so you get your neck, back, upper and lower legs, and feet massaged all at once.

Now that your feet are gorgeous, it’s time to show those puppies off!  Sandals this season also come in all the beautiful colors, and they are accented to the max.  Gemstones, animal print, fringe, straps, buckles, and they come in every height from flat to six inch stiletto heels!  The materials for sandals this season are leather, canvas, and plastic.

Polish chipped?  Still a bit too chilly to have those toes exposed?  No problem!  Canvas shoes, similar to the Converse All-Stars many of us are familiar with are popping up in stunning colors.  Choose a solid eye-catching color, pick out a pair with a striking design, or go all out and get an amazing color with a great design!  These shoes are not only fun and functional, but also quite comfortable.

Complete the look with jewelry.  Earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings, anklets, toe rings, even hair accessories!  Glittering gems are still very popular, or choose colorful chunky jewelry to compliment your outfit.

No problem, I work in a retail clothing store, so the manniquins pictured are actually manniquins that I dressed (what a pain!)

This is a fun hub, shorts promise to be hot for the sping-summer season, I like pairing mine with sandals as I am "anti-trainer" type of girl ;-)

I'm not much for shorts, I find them uncomfortable and unflattering to my body. I love sandals, but my Chucks are my staple, I'd be lost without them!
